OLD! But GOOD Advise!

There has been a Rash of RV Break-ins in Sequim, Wa! They are hitting the Storage Lots Mostly! One neighborhood got pounded about 8 Rv's were hit right in the owners yards! They hit 4 Rv's in out lot and didn't get into any of them. They have been successful at about 60% of their tries!

About the advise: Forget about locking the Latch. Just use the Deadbolt!
I was told that back in 79 when I bought my First Trailer, a 17' Security, It proved to be SAGE!

The Lock Smith that replaced my Lock AGREED!


The were using Pocket Knives, SHARP, to Bore out the lock and totally destroyed the Latch Lock! If the idiots had tried it first they would have found it wasn't LOCKED! lol

They got MOST of the deadbolt lock dug out but couldn't expose the Deadbolt Shaft. They then took a Crowbar and tried to pop the door open. NO LUCK! Actually very little damage, just used a Rubber hammer on the bent frame and the lock was $39.95 and the Smitty was $40. He used a drill to access the shaft and then popped it open!
